Dana M. McTigue

Dana M. McTigue studies the biological consequences of spinal cord injury, including how the nervous system responds with inflammation, changes in myelin (the insulating material around nerve fibers), and effects on other organs such as the liver, bladder, and metabolism. This research combines animal models and clinical/retrospective data to understand how spinal cord injury affects the whole body over time, which could inform future treatments and recovery strategies. Prospective students would likely engage with both basic neuroscience techniques and translational, clinically oriented research questions.

Publication output has been relatively steady with some year-to-year fluctuation, averaging under 4 papers per year over the last five years, without a clear sustained increase or decrease.
